[00:00.54]Passage 75 The Bread of Life
[00:05.14]There are lives that have bread in abundance and yet are starved;
[00:10.50]with barns and warehouses filled, with shelves and larders laden they are empty and hungry.
[00:18.38]No man need envy them; their feverish, restless whirl in the dust of publicity
[00:25.60]is but the search for a satisfaction never to be found in things.
[00:31.18]They are called rich in a world where no others are more truly, pitiably poor;
[00:38.40]having all, they are yet lacking in all because they have neglected the things within.
[00:45.40]The abundance of bread is the cause of many a man\'s deeper hunger.
[00:51.85]Having known nothing of the discipline that develops life\'s hidden sources of satisfaction,
[00:58.53]nothing of the struggle in which deep calls unto deep and the true life finds itself,
[01:05.75]he spends his days seeking to satisfy his soul with furniture,
[01:10.89]with houses and lands, with yachts and merchandise, seeking to feed his heart on things,
[01:19.54]a process of less promise and reason than feeding a snapping turtle on thoughts.
[01:26.65]It takes many of us altogether too long to learn
[01:31.46]that you cannot find satisfaction so long as you leave the soul out of your reckoning.
[01:37.92]If the heart be empty the life cannot be filled.
[01:42.63]The flow must cease at the faucet if the fountains go dry.
[01:47.76]The prime, the elemental necessities of our being are for the life rather than the body,
[01:55.20]its house. But, alas, how often out of the marble edifice issues the poor emaciated inmate,
[02:04.39]how out of the life having many things comes that which amounts to nothing.
[02:11.18]The essential things are not often those which most readily strike our blunt senses.
[02:17.85]We see the shell first.
[02:20.70]To the undeveloped mind the material is all there is.
[02:25.84]But looking deeper into life there comes an awakening to the fact
[02:31.31]and the significance of the spiritual,
[02:34.81]the feeling that the reason, the emotions, the joys and pains
[02:41.48]that have nothing to do with things, the ties that knit one to the infinite,
[02:47.40]all of which constitute the permanent elements of life. 晨读美文 晨读美文100篇 经典晨读美文 适合晨读的美文 晨读美文 小短文 晨读美文200篇 晨读美文励志 晨读励志美文100篇 经典晨读美文3分钟
